I was leaving early last Saturday morning to head out to Kolkata to present to the students of IIM Calcutta (my alma mater – Calcutta was changed to Kolkata but the name still stands with the institution) the career options available with Maarga.

It was a red letter day for Maarga as her contribution to spearheading innovation and paving the path for other entrepreneurs to follow was lauded at the Raj Bhavan by His Excellency Dr.K.Rosaiah, The Governor of TamilNadu.

When I compare notes with my customers – either IT executives or Line of Business executives, I realize that running a department in a large organization has its similarities with running a small organization.
